my garage torsion spring broke, if I'm looking at the end you wind up I would turn it clock wise so do I need a left or right wind spring?

If you're looking from inside the garage out towards the door the spring on the right side of center is a left side wind, the one on the left side of center is a right side wind.

That depends on location of the spring to the chain track. Looking towards the door in the garage, Right side of the track is a left winding. Left side of the track is right winding.

Both, This item goes on either the left or right. Its best to change both though. My right sensor was bad, but I ordered 2 and changed both. The part fits the right or left wheel. be careful when pulling sensor from hub, you dont want part of it falling inside of hub. Big issue then!!!

The side the gate opens to.... Keep it pretty much vertical.. All you want is the spring to move to its normal posistion to close gate..

I would contact Hellwig to buy the right springs. That is what I did before ordering. 1-800-435-5944

The spring I bought was a right spring from the street. In other words, if you are within the garage, looking at the garage door, it was the spring on the left.

No, its assembled for the crank on the right side for a right handed crank. BUT, if you are left handed, don't discard it out for that. It is so well made, so heavy, and the winding mechanism is so solid, this unit will last a long time and is worth the money. In fact, if I was left handed, I'd still get it and get 'behind it', so I could wind in the opposite direction with my left hand!! It's that good.

David, As the previous answer stated; the spring you want for the right side facing outward is the 7682. If your door has two springs, you may want to consider replacing them as a matched pair. Wind them up equally for balanced lifting. You may want to replace your cables at the same time, they are inexpensive; and if you are handy can be easily replaced and adjusted. Be safe, and good luck.

According to installation instruction manual....you must have an 8 inch minimum space between the side garage and the end of the torsion bar. The torsion bar must extend at least 1 - 5 inches past the bearing plate.

My husband used this to replace an old one from the 1980's. He says he remembers 2 springs, but can't remember which sides.

I have found that even if the hook of the spring doesn't provide enough tension, you can always just use a spring coil further down. I've had to do that many times on a basement remodel.

This is the right side, note you need to replace both sides for the benefit of a better ride... Good price and works great.You should replace the engine and transmission mounts also.. I am on my third set. Good Luck.

This is for the left side and either front or rear. Doesn't matter. Main thing is left. Just installed both of my front window motors a couple weeks ago.

I have installed three of these fans. If you do not tighten the bolt that runs through the support, to tight, you can turn it left and right. There is no reason to over-tighten this bolt so the fan won't move left & right. Good luck.

Clock wise... Horrible quality part. Springs break or part that holds the spring.

The spring should be a left hand. The springs are determined two ways. One) the springs are viewed from the outside - in. You said that your spring is on the right as viewed from the inside, that is left from outside. Two) the spring will wind over the top from the right to the left, as viewed from the inside. I hope this helps you. Have a great day.

There should be a bracket on the both side of the wheel. The bracket is on the rear axial.

Hi They are connected with ball lock to the top end and it is rotatable, which means there is no left or right. I ordered two as well and they worked perfectly for me on both sidesJust pry off the older lifter bar ball from existing holder and pop in new one , it's as simpleAlso make sure the door is fully open before you pop out the older one as it might have some residual pressure in it.Goodluck
